Some people moan about the current generation of special effects driven action movies, but I think they're just watching them on the wrong screen. Movies like The Avengers and Avatar demand huge screens, measured in feet, not inches. And you've got to see them in 3D. A small LCD or plasma TV won't give you the full experience. You've got to get a projector.
The good news is that theatre projectors aren't just the domain of hi-fi enthusiasts and multiplexes anymore. There are several great options that cost roughly the same as a TV. Like this Acer 3D 720p Home Theatre Projector. It's only $420 at NewEgg today with coupon code EMCNAND29, which is practically impulse-buy territory. That price is $100 less than Amazon, where it's received some great reviews. Those reviews praise the projector's 2500 lumen rating, which is more than powerful enough to fight off ambient light while your favorite superheroes fight off the forces of darkness. [Newegg]
